Other privates publish that data online.  Anyone can plot the actual trends from the online data.

Again, this claim about BIM is not so clear or obviously true.  Perhaps the difference lies in what one considers “pretty good success” ?  One can look online at Potomac for example, and get the past few years of every matriculation, along with indications where multiple students attended the same college.  Other good local privates also have similar quality data online for recent years of matriculations.

BIM is substantially less transparent than other local privates.  They need to be more honest and more transparent, showing warts and all, not just marketing, if they really want to be taken seriously by the community at large.  I know a bunch of folks who drive past BIM and have a longer commute for their DC to/from school because of BIM’s credibility gap.  [/quote]
